This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I have always wanted to make a space in my classroom for students to feel calm, relax after having a stressful event. The items I have requested will be placed in the back corner of the classroom to invite all students. All items I requested are used to help students ease their anxiety and their stress.
Providing a calming corner for my students will help their mental health and improve in the attendance and grades.
My goal is to have students utilize the corner when they are in need for a break. Providing them with a space to unwind will help them focus and learn in the classroom.
My current students have been dealing with trauma from the pandemic. We had so many student that lost family members to Covid which impacted their life. We are trying to get students back to normal but there are those that are still dealing with the consequences of distance learning and feeling lonely. I hope the calming corner will provide a tool to help the student manage their emotions and anxiety.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
